Trimble Introduces 5800 Limited GPS System

Trimble (CA, USA) has introduced the Trimble 5800 Limited GPS System for the North American market. The system combines a dual-frequency GPS receiver, antenna, UHF radio, and battery in a single compact unit. The Trimble 5800 Limited GPS System consists of a cable-free base station together with a RTK rover.

The 5800 Limited GPS System includes the Trimble Recon Controller running Microsoft Windows Mobile for Pocket PC operating system.

Surveyors can run complementary Pocket PC applications on the Trimble Recon controller, such as Pocket Word, Excel, or other specialised programs that allow surveyors to take the convenience of their office to the field. The 5800 Limited GPS system is packaged with Survey Pro with Trimble Systems Extension (TSX) software.

Combining the GPS receiver, antenna, and battery in one compact but tough unit, the 5800 Limited can withstand a pole drop of 2 metres and its environmental specifications include a water resistance rating of IPX7. The complete base/rover system is packed in a single, easy-to-carry transport case.

The 5800 Limited GPS System offers Trimble’s field-proven Maxwell GPS technology. The system is an important part of Trimble’s Integrated Surveying solution and the Connected Survey Site model: Surveyors can combine GPS and optical data in one file in the Survey Pro with TSX field software and perform powerful processing of all data with Trimble Geomatics Office software.
